Contrary to the notion that the body mirrors an internal self, these works
reflect the body as inscribed largely by culture, by the external constructions
and conditions one inhabits and encounters--ethnic conflict, suburbia,
old movies, disease, age. The program provides unflinching witness to
the often poignant, occasionally humorous or absurd conflicts that are
acted out on, and by, the feeling, physicalized body. Program length 89
minutes.
